Sandboxie Support

So the other day I used sandboxie to execute a suspicious program using a fairly new laptop. And I was surprised to see that seconds during the execution of this program, I got a notification stating that my anti virus was disabled? I was wondering whether this is possible for a sandboxed program to do this or whether sandboxie creates a virtualized version of the anti virus and it was in fact this virtualized copy that was 'disabled' rather than my outside one? I must add that the program did require uac permission which it was given. Does that impact on it too? I'm a bit concerned, however, if it was in fact a virus trying to infect me, would deleting the sandboxed contents mean removal of the virus or did the virus in fact bypass sandboxie security?

Hello Dreblue,

Isolated applications inside Sandboxie cannot modify applications running on your host, unless you explicitly opened a path for them (for example, some templates allow communication between Sandboxed apps and the host, in order to make modifications) .
Deleting the contents of your Sandbox ensures anything inside of it gets deleted.

If you could provide more information, as well as repro steps, I will test the scenario:
